Two beat-up teams meet at the Joe tonight, with the Red Wings hosting the Penguins.

As was the case on Saturday, Detroit is without Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen and Jiri Hudler. With all of the injuries up front, defenseman Ruslan Salei is slotted to play some minutes on the fourth forward line.

The Penguins will be without a whole mess of players, most notably Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Matt Cooke will also be out, serving the suspension that was handed down today.

Jimmy Howard starts for the Wings and Brent Johnson gets the nod for the Penguins.
